Do We Have The Rounded Skills To Influence?

The Interesting Health & Safety Podcast

How rounded are your skills? In this episode, Colin talks about how the skill sets you have need to match the words you're using to influence others.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Being able to talk and influence others is nothing unless we have the skills and abilities to back up what we're saying.
• Look at the skills we have and analyse the gap. Push forward with becoming a better communicator, but always make sure you have the technical prowess to back it up.

BEST MOMENTS

'It's no good if you're good at influencing if you don't have the technical knowledge to help them'

'If you can do that, then you're offering something of real value'
